Kevin didn't have classes on Friday so we tried to pack a lot of fun into that day. Our morning started at Please Touch Museum. For some reason I thought it was "Please Touch Me" museum and that is what I called it. I guess I said it so much that when my mom got a taxi from our hotel doorman she said she wanted a taxi to "Touch Me" museum. The doorman smirked and I said, "MOM, It's Please!" So she said, "PLEASE TOUCH ME!" It was so funny. Completely embarrassed my mom but Kevin and I could not get our composure. Either could the door man. We were the first 4 people in the museum that day. In fact for a WHOLE hour we were the only ones in the place. It was great because by 10 a.m. there were a TON of field trip kids everywhere. We had the best time. Here's some of my favorite pics from our morning at the Children's Museum.
Will and me on the BIG piano from the movie BIG!
Will then found a mini piano he loved!
One area was all the children's nursery rhymes. The boys loved it.
The second floor was all sorts of jobs. Zachary & Will loved the manual labor spots.

There was a "pretend" McD's. Z loved it. He worked all positions behind the counter, making lunch for Kevin. **Please take note NO ONE is in this museum at 9:00 a.m. on a Friday :)
He even made Kevin pay for his value meal.
Swiping the
debit card hotel key.
Water/Weather station. Kevin and Zach could have spent all day making boats and sending them through the boat races.
This picture shows how my mom the boys Grams will do anything they ask her to. Will kept begging her to sit on the swan and she did it. SUPER GRAMS!

Checking out at the local supermarket

Daddy & Zach shooting rockets into outer space
This next picture is hilarious! Because there was 5 of us we had to take 2 taxis. One taxi was waiting so Kevin & Will took that one so they could take the carseat back to our hotel room. Mom, Zach, and I were going to get the second taxi and meet Kevin at noon. My Aunt Ann & Uncle Wayne (who live in PA) took the train into Philly for the day and were going to meet us at noon. After about 10 phone calls to the taxi company, several phone call confirmations to my cell phone from the taxi co. , and 75 minutes our taxi finally arrived. It really was not a big deal because it was beautiful and cool. Kevin and Will met up with my aunt & uncle, however it was just rude that our taxi assigned to us kept picking up other people on the way to our scheduled pick up. My mom flashed this picture of me frustrated at the taxi situation and me praying for a random taxi to come get us.
Meanwhile Z & I played freeze tag... We had so much fun that we almost forgot about the taxi delay!
Finally we caught up with Aunt Ann & Uncle Wayne. Zach was pooped so Will shared his stroller with him.
Waiting to get into the Liberty Bell
Zachary couldn't wait to see the Liberty Bell. For months he has checked out lots of books about the historical sites in Philly. My mom read a ton of books to him on the plane so he was stuff full of knowledge about this bell.
Little Will and my Uncle Wayne have a special connection. They absolutely adore one another. It's priceless to see them together!
We took the Ride the Ducks tour through Philly. Poor Will couldn't take it anymore. Gosh it sure is nice to have a baby that just sleeps wherever we are at. I do not take this for granted for one second!
Our second day was a BLAST! Full of lots of fun and our family. What a great day!
